230218 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Finding even keel

In troubled times like these

Is difficult difficult lemon difficult.

Thoughts:

In emergencies, I must stand firm and weather the storm.  Make today a worthy day despite not feeling anything like worthy.

I will keep it simple: my goal for today is to be kind to my family and to others I meet. 

I know I get irritable as this time comes around. I know I get short and uncommunicative and don't feel like interacting with anyone. I want solitude, to be alone with my thoughts and feelings, but that's not an option. 

So today, I will be kind. I won't snap at my kids. I won't be short with my wife. I won't curse those who affront me in their ignorance of what is good and what is wrong. 

Today, though it take effort far beyond the norm, I will be kind.
